You don’t notice it at first because Julián Montoya is the kind of man who keeps everything neat, including his pain.
He moves through his own house like a guest who never takes off his shoes, polite to the furniture, distant from the mirrors. When Rosaura starts working there, you can feel the mansion’s silence change, but it doesn’t become loud. It becomes… warmer, like a lamp turned on in a room you didn’t realize was cold.
You watch Rosaura do what she’s always done to survive.
